Basilika St. Adalbert

Die Basilika St. Adalbert (englisch Basilica of St. Adalbert) ist eine römisch-katholische Kirche in Grand Rapids im US-amerikanischen Bundesstaat Michigan. Die Pfarrkirche des Bistums Grand Rapids ist Adalbert von Prag geweiht und trägt den Titel einer Basilica minor. Geschichte Die Basilika St. Adalbert geht auf die Gründung der St.-Adalbert-Hilfe-Gesellschaft in Grand Rapids, Michigan im Jahr 1872 zurück, die Benennung nach St. Adalbert wurde in seiner Funktion als polnischer Schutzpatron von den polnischstämmigen Einwohnern gewählt. Der Zweck der Gesellschaft war es, neue polnische Einwanderer nach Grand Rapids bei der Suche nach Wohnraum und Beschäftigung zu unterstützen. 1880 kaufte sie zwei Grundstücke, und im Juni 1881 begann der Bau einer kleinen Holzkirche. Zehn Jahre später wurde die Rahmenstruktur vergrößert. 1892 baute der Verein einen großen Sitzungssaal, der noch in Gebrauch ist. Die Arbeiten an der heutigen Kirche begannen im Juli 1907. Der Grundstein wurde am 18. August 1907 gelegt und der Bau im Frühjahr 1913 fertiggestellt. Es wurde von der Andrews Brothers Company in Cleveland, Ohio gebaut. Die ursprüngliche Holzkirche wurde bis in die späten 1980er Jahre in Belmont, als Mariä-Himmelfahrt-Kirche weiterverwendet. Papst Johannes Paul II. erhob am 22. August 1979 die Kirche St. Adalbert zur Basilica minor. Die feierliche Verkündigung erfolgte im Zusammenhang mit dem 100-jährigen Jubiläum der Pfarrei am 16. Februar 1980. Architektur Die neuromanische Kirche wurde vom Architekten Henry J. Harks aus Cleveland entworfen und unter Leitung des Architekten Chris Vierheilig aus Grand Rapids errichtet. Die Außenwände der Basilika sind mit Kalkstein verkleidet. Die beiden Türme, die die Fassade flankieren, sind 41 m hoch und die große zentrale Kuppel erreicht eine Höhe von 46 Metern. Die außen kupferverkleidete Vierungskuppel zeigt innen neobyzantinischen Einfluss und ein zentrales Opaion, während das große Rosettenfenster der Doppelturmfassade aus der Gotik entlehnt wurde. Die kreuzförmige Kirche hat eine Länge von 59 Metern und in der Vierung eine Breite von 29 Metern, das Kirchenschiff ist 24 Meter breit. Die Buntglasfenster der Basilika wurden von A. Artmaier entworfen und von aus München gekommenen Handwerkern gefertigt. Edmund Verlinden entwarf die Altäre, die Kanzel, das Taufbecken und die Beichtstühle.

Basilica of St. Adalbert (Grand Rapids, Michigan)

The Basilica of St. Adalbert is a minor basilica of the Catholic Church and a parish church of the Catholic Diocese of Grand Rapids in Grand Rapids, Michigan, United States. Its namesake and patron is St. Adalbert of Prague (c. 956 – 23 April 997), bishop and martyr, and a Patron of Poland, the nation from which the basilica's original parishioners emigrated. History The Basilica of St. Adalbert traces its beginning to the founding of the Saint Adalbert Aid Society in Grand Rapids, Michigan, in 1872. The purpose of the society was to assist new Polish immigrants to Grand Rapids in finding housing and employment. It purchased two lots at the corner of Fourth Street and Davis Avenue, NW in 1880, and in June 1881 began construction of a small wooden church. Ten years later the frame structure was enlarged. In 1892 the society built a large meeting hall for itself, which is still in use. Work began on the present church in July 1907. The cornerstone was laid on 18 August 1907, and construction continued late into the spring of 1913. It was built by the Andrews Brothers Company of Cleveland, Ohio. The cost for the building and its furnishings was approximately $150,000. The original wooden church was moved to Belmont, Michigan where it became Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Church. This church continued to use the frame building until the late 1980s when it erected a new church. Pope John Paul II elevated St. Adalbert Church to the status of a minor basilica on 22 August 1979. The dedication liturgy was celebrated in conjunction with the centennial of the parish on 16 February 1980. The parish has subsequently been merged with St. James Parish, also in Grand Rapids. Architecture The Romanesque Revival edifice was designed by architect Henry J. Harks of Cleveland, Ohio. Architect Chris Vierheilig of Grand Rapids supervised its construction. The exterior walls of the basilica are covered in limestone from Sandusky, Ohio and it is trimmed in Bedford limestone. The two towers that flank the façade are 134 feet (41 m) high and the large central dome rises to 150 feet (46 m) above the ground, making it one of the tallest buildings in Grand Rapids. The dome reflects Byzantine influence while the facade's large rose window reveals Gothic influence. The basilica's stained glass windows were designed by A. Artmaier and created by craftsmen from Munich, Germany. Edmund Verlinden designed the altars, pulpit, baptismal font, and confessionals. The original communion rail was topped with Georgia marble. The pews were crafted by the American Seating Company of Grand Rapids, a nod to the city's large furniture industry.

Kalamazoo Regional Psychiatric Hospital

The Kalamazoo Psychiatric Hospital (KRPH) is the largest mental health institution in Michigan. It was built under the Kirkbride Plan. History The Kalamazoo Regional Psychiatric Hospital officially opened on 29 August 1859 under the direction of Dr. Edwin Van Deusen, although three women patients had been admitted prior to that time. The first male patient was admitted in 1860. It was originally known as the 'Michigan Asylum for the Insane' and was renamed the 'Kalamazoo State Hospital' in 1911. Its name was changed to the 'Kalamazoo Regional Psychiatric Hospital' on 1 January 1978 and in July 1995 it assumed its present designation, the 'Kalamazoo Psychiatric Hospital'. Many local residents commonly referred it simply as the 'State Hospital'. The facility has continuously expanded and is located on Oakland Drive, which was originally known as Asylum Avenue. It is bounded by Howard Street on the south, and by the campus of Western Michigan University on the north. Almost all the original and historic buildings have been demolished and new, modern ones have been built in their place. This includes the original hospital building, which originally was covered with vines and had a more pleasant appearance. The water tower was designed by B.F. Stratton and was constructed in 1895 by contractor Benjamin Roe. It quickly became a local landmark and played prominently in the history of the city. In time, two working farms were opened for the care and rehabilitation of patients and were located about 3 miles (4.8 km) to the north and south of the main campus. Another landmark on the main campus is the 'gate cottage' situated near Oakland Drive at the entrance to the hospital grounds. The gatehouse is 'carpenter gothic' in style, featuring board and batten siding, a steep roof and 'gingerbread' ornamentation. The house had been furnished with Victorian furniture and now serves as a museum. When first built, it was used as the porter's residence and later housed 12 women patients for a time.

Shrine of the Pines

Shrine of the Pines is a property south of Baldwin, Michigan on highway M-37. It is significant for its collection of early 20th-century American craft furniture. Created by Raymond W. Overholzer over the course of nearly 30 years from the early 1920s until his death in 1952, the collection was intended as a memorial to the eastern white pine which had been logged to near extinction in northern Michigan. The property, which includes the original log cabin built as a gallery space to house the furniture collection, along with the furniture was designated a Michigan State Historic Site on July 20, 1982. Overholzer, a native of Ohio, moved to the community of Marlborough, Michigan with his wife in 1920 during the era of extensive logging. An avid hunter and taxidermist, Overholzer regularly wandered what is now Manistee National Forest hunting game that he would later mount. Deeply concerned that the white pine had been ravaged throughout the area, he began collecting stumps and roots that remained from the logging activity, initially crafting them into mirror frames and bases for his taxidermy. By 1939 Overholzer's collection of handcrafted items, made mostly of found white pine pieces, had grown so large that he and three lumberman constructed a cabin as a gallery space. The cabin was given the name "Shrine of the Pines," memorializing what had been Michigan's greatest natural resource. The cabin was opened to the public, and Overholzer continued to work tirelessly, adding to the collection which numbered 201 pieces at the time of his death. The collection includes a dining table and seating for ten, a buffet and a side tables, beds for guests, a game table with five club chairs, rocking chair with an accompanying ottoman, a pair of fireplace chairs, a revolving gun rack, etc. The dining table was made of one 700-pound root, with over 60 inlays in its surface. Each piece was constructed using only hand tools, with wooden dowel joinery, and glue made of Overholzer's own formula rumored to have included pine pitch, fish innards, deer hair, different parts of deer, and sawdust. Overholzer sanded the surfaces with homemade sandpaper made from the used sanding belts from the local lumber companies as well as of crushed glass and local sands, and finished the pieces with animal grease. Overholzer was survived by his wife, Hortense Overholtzer, who outlived him by 7 years. After she died, she willed the collection of furniture along with the property to the Boysville of Clinton, Michigan. Now known as Holycross of Clinton, Mi; Formally Boysville of Baldwin. Later acquired by a group of local patrons, the shrine remains open, with tours available May 1 through November 1.
